and <strong>Go</strong>d said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over<br />

the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the<br />

earth."<br />

Mother <strong>Go</strong>d - Ruah Ha Kodesh - The Holy Spirit.<br />

In Hebrew, the word “Ruach” is feminine gender, assigning to the Spirit a feminine nature,<br />

character, gender, or characteristic.<br />

There is much Scripture to back up the Truth of the HOLY SPIRIT or RUACH HA KODESH in<br />

Nicene Creed as seen in the Eastern Churches:<br />

“We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the<br />

Father, who with the Father and Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke<br />

by the prophets and apostles.”<br />

Western churches has the Latin word filioque ("and the Son") added after the declaration<br />

that the Holy Spirit ‘proceeds from the Father’. Filioque is a Latin word meaning "and the<br />

Son" which was added to the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed by the Church of Rome in the<br />

11th century, one of the major factors leading to the Great Schism between East and West.<br />

Others accepts the addition ” through the Son” which is acceptable to the East. Eastern<br />

Orthodox insist that to equate "through the Son" with "from the Son" is a departure from the<br />

true faith. The idea seems to be that the <strong>Go</strong>dhead is a family: Father, Spirit and the Son.<br />

Son being before all creation and Wisdom being with the Father in the creation process beside<br />
